Dust Bunnies, Bacteria and Dirt!

OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! OH MY!

Dust Bunnies, Bacteria, and Dirt! Oh My! It feels like you’ve done all there is to do for this cleaning day. But what if we told you that there are still germs thriving in unreached places in the home? We’ve learned some of the most unclean places in the average home, and we are wanting to share!

THE BATHROOM We admit the bathroom is not often overlooked, but there are a couple of places to note that need some attention. For one: the wall behind your toilet. Wipe this down occasionally with a disinfecting wipe. Wipe down the shower and bathtub after use.

HANDLES, SWITCHES, AND FAUCETS Once we learned that handles, switches, and faucets are some of the dirtiest places in the home, it made sense. These are the most touched, yet the least cleaned, because they are small and less threatening than places like the floor.

STANDING WATER Any place in the house where water can sit is a breeding ground for bacteria. The spots just around the drains in a bathtub or in sinks are the more obvious of spots and probably make your cleaning list.

NO MAN’S LAND The spaces that lie out of sight, untouched, and out of mind are the favorite hiding spots for dust bunnies. Dust is made up of skin, insect feces and exoskeletons, dirt, pet dander, and more.

47009.26.1.008.CleaningAd.indd 1

WELL USED KITCHEN APPLIANCES Inside the refrigerator is an often glazed over spot because we go in to get what we need and leave the messes in the dark once again. Take the time to remove all the food from the fridge and give it a wipe down.

With so many places to keep in mind, your best option may to be hire a professional cleaning servicing company. Often, these folks come well equipped to tackle all the jobs your house needs and they know where the dust accumulates. Source: hufﬁ ngtonpost.com and bhg.com

Remodeling Projects to Kick Off 2016 Do you have a New Year’s resolution? No matter what your long-term or short-term goals are for 2016, one thing is for certain: nothing gives you that “fresh start” feeling like a newly remodeled home. Based on home renovations and designs that have gained popularity in 2015, here are some remodeling trends that are here to stay. 1. Mix Modern & Artisan Goods Newer is not always better. A huge design trend in 2016 is the combination of old and new through eclectic décor. Wherever you may shop, be inspired by local finds. Interior design guru Nate Berkus persistently encourages shoppers to buy locally made and globally crafted goods. Don’t be afraid to mix mass produced goods with vintage and artisanal items.

2. Embrace Natural Minerals It’s all about the texture of items in their natural state, and that’s what consumers crave because it exudes that feeling of authenticity and attractive imperfection. Throughout 2016, you’ll see more and more natural minerals that are incorporated into a room’s layout. These can range from accents like pyrite made bowls to large chunks of quartz.

3. Adopt Sustainability Over the past year, there has been increasing popularity of sustainability in homes. More and more consumers are adopting the “Do It Yourself” way of life in an effort to make the most out of what’s in reach. To reflect this, consider recycling, repurposing, and reinventing different ways to manipulate and creatively reuse decorative items in your home.

4. Softer Color Palette Get ready to see a huge popularity in soft colors this year. Jeanette Holmes, designer with Miller Homes, suggests using restful palettes that embrace shades of blue, green, purple, mushroom and pink throughout your home. According to a recent article in Furniture World magazine, you should expect an overall softening of the color palette.

5. Brass Accents Most notably in the kitchen on focal lighting and hardware, brass is predicted to become one of the major finishes, as reported by a study in House Beautiful. Old brass that looks more worn will continue to gain popularity in 2016.

Find ways to implement these features in your abode for a fresh start as well as interested homebuyers!

How Homeowners Can Achieve a Listing-Ready Home Want to sell your home quickly and for the best price? Making some small improvements can give buyers the best first impression and make a world of difference when selling your home.

1. CURB APPEAL The first thing that buyers will see is the outside of your house. Does the outside make them want to see the inside? A well kept yard, an inviting porch, a clean driveway – all increase the likelihood that buyers will want to see more, so start here. Clean up the lawn and the driveway. Touch up or repaint the exterior. Clean gutters and keep the porches swept and inviting. Showing that the exterior of your home is well-kept will lead buyers to the assumption that the home is well-kept in general.

2. CLEAN, DE-CLUTTER AND SIMPLIFY. Do a deep clean or hire a professional cleaning crew to make sure everything looks its best. Keep carpets vacuumed and beds made. Make the rooms look larger by removing clutter and large furniture. Packed closets and cabinets also lead others to believe there is inadequate storage, so clean those out, too. Make sure to keep all the dishes away, hang clothes neatly in closets, make sure all light bulbs work, and towels in the bathroom and kitchen need to be clean and folded neatly. Help buyers imagine their own things in your home by storing personal items such as photos and knick-knacks.

3. UPDATE This includes fresh paint, replacing outdated appliances and fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom. If it’s not in your budget to replace, you can add new hardware on cabinets and sinks. If you can, replace outdated flooring or stained carpeting – or at least have them professionally cleaned. Interior paint is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your home and increase its value. And, while that dramatic purple wall in the dining room may have matched your chairs, it may be hard for buyers to imagine with their furnishings. Use light, neutral colors that make the

rooms look bright and large and that match any decor.

4. CONSIDER HIRING A HOME INSPECTOR. It’s very likely that a buyer will hire one anyway – after they’ve made an offer, so being honest about your home’s condition will help you avoid any surprises or complications with the contract and closing later. And, although you don’t have to make any non-essential repairs, you may discover essential ones of which you may be unaware.

5. INTERVIEW REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND ASK THEM ABOUT THEIR MARKETING PLAN FOR YOUR HOME. After you’ve done all the work to get it ready to list, an aggressive marketing plan will ensure that as many buyers as possible see it. Most agents will list the home in the Multiple Listing Service database, on their website and on their company website. Ask them about also putting it on other top ranked real estate sites. Also, according to the National Association of REALTORS, most buyers move within 11 miles of their previous residence – so ask about local advertising as well. The sign in your yard should include the agent’s information. Many add a brochure box, but it’s difficult to keep it full. Ask about adding a text code that leads buyers to a mobile site for your home that shows more information and photos, so the information is always readily available to interested buyers.

Best Ways to Spend Your Tax Return It’s always a pleasant surprise to get a big chunk of money back on your tax return. How should you spend that money, though? Instead of hitting the mall, where you’ll most likely make an impulse purchase, put that money in a place worth spending. Have you considered these ideas? 1. Update Your Home’s Fixtures. Updating fixtures in your home is another simple, low-cost way to remodel in a small but big way. Replace door handles, hinges, faucets, and light switch plates for an updated look throughout your home. Keeping up with new home design trends will resonate with new homebuyers because you’ll have all the latest styles. 2. Trim and Mouldings Installing crown moulding, baseboards or wainscoting is a sure-fire way to create a more refined look. Your new trim and moulding will add beautiful detail and elegance to your home as well as appeal to all types of homebuyers’ senses. 3. Make Kitchen Repairs Buyers want to be wowed by the kitchen, but that doesn’t mean you have to fork over tens of thousands of dollars to make that happen. Focus on making repairs

that cost well under $500, like tightening a leaky faucet or eliminating burn marks on countertops. For a cheap alternative to repainting your cabinets, consider updating your hardware in a modern finish. 4. Spruce Up the Exterior Your home’s exterior is the first impression for many buyers online and in person. Aside from keeping up with maintenance like mowing the lawn and trimming shrubs, assess the outside of your home for any repair work – a fading front door, cracked siding or a loose step – that needs to be completed before selling. 5. Upgrade the Bathroom Bathrooms can become a point of contention for buyers if they’re not in tip-top shape. Rather than taking on an expensive renovation, make minor upgrades that have an impact. Caulk the tub, re-grout tile, and install new fixtures.

Whether or not you’re getting your house ready to sell, these remodeling tweaks are easy, cost-effective, and will result in a great new look. They may be small, but these renovations make a huge impact, making your home feel like new!

Your Winter Plumbing Guide Preparing your home's plumbing for the winter is vital to minimizing the risk of potentially expensive repairs. Burst pipes, faulty boilers and radiators all need an inspection to ensure they're in good working condition. Being prepared is better than being taken by surprise, so spend the time to ensure your home is completely winterized.

Radiators Your radiators are a key component, not only in your home's heating system, but also for your comfort during the cold winter. Bleeding your radiators is a good way to restore their performance and efficiency. There is an easy way to determine whether your radiators need bleeding – check if they're hot at the top, but cold at the bottom. A simple home remedy is to get your radiator key and a cloth, and locate the square shaped bleed valve which is usually located near the top of the radiator. Turn off the heating, and gently turn the radiator key while holding the cloth underneath to catch any dripping water, and let the air escape until water starts flowing. Tighten the valve again and move on to the next unit.

Boilers Boilers can have a serious impact on your home's energy efficiency, so the first step is to ensure you have a modern boiler. Older boilers tend to use a lot more energy than their modern counterparts. If your boiler is older than 15 years, then it may be time for a replacement. If you

have a modern boiler, you should have it properly serviced before the winter.

Pipes Pipes, more specifically frozen pipes, are often hit hardest by winter. With some simple precautions, you should be able to avoid any damage to your home’s plumbing system. All exposed pipes need to be covered with good lagging. Lagging provides protection to exposed pipes and taps during the cold winter and is more of a necessity than a good investment. Lagging helps reduce the risk of your home’s pipes bursting, keeping condensation build up around the pipes to a minimum, and improves energy efficiency. Good lagging could not only protect your heating and plumbing, but it could also save you some money in the process. There are a number of plumbers and plumbing companies that will install lagging for you. However, be sure that the company you choose is a reputable and / or trusted authority—dealing with damaged pipes and a broken heating system in the middle of winter could be extremely inconvenient, not to mention expensive if not properly taken cared for.

Who says you have to celebrate love just one day out of the year? Why not every other day, too? Add some romance to your home with some new decorating techniques that will wow your valentine!

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to transform your home into a romantic paradise where love never fades. Here are some DIY home design tips to try:

1. Romantic Furnishings

Add luxury to a room with a chaise lounge or a four-poster bed. With a bed with soft and silky sheets as the focal point of the room, it will radiate with elegance and romance.

2. Soft Lighting

When you want romance in your home, be sure to stay away from bright lights. Lighting should be soft to give off the right vibe. Try installing dimmer switches on lamps and chandeliers so you can easily adjust the brightness to match the room's mood.

3. Fireplaces & Candles The flickering flames from a fire bring out the romance in a room. Fireplaces and candles create subtle light to both invigorate and relax the occupants.

4. Satisfy the Senses Sense of Touch Take advantage of your sense of touch through soft fabrics, bath curtains and the use of velvet or similar materials for upholstered chairs. On lamps, opaque shades will give your skin a beautiful glow and soft, plush towels are a nice touch for a romantic atmosphere.

Sense of Smell Enhance the overall mood in the room with the power of scent. In every room of the house, use scented oils and candles while keeping a subtle smell that is not over-powering. Add lovely aromas by placing fresh cut flowers around your home.

Sense of Sight Captivate the sense of sight with lovely artwork of landscapes, sculptures, or still-life paintings. Place delicate vases on dressers or a stack a poetry collection on a piece of furniture to enhance the romantic aura.

Sense of Sound You can filter sound and keep noise levels down in your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic space by using curtains and soft, plush rugs. Keep the television off or in another room to minimize noise.

Using these home-decorating tips, you can create a romantic and elegant aura throughout your home this Valentine's Day and all year long. As you decorate your home, concentrate on captivating all the senses. Sight, sound, touch, and smell should be used in soft and subtle ways to provide both luxury and tranquility.

SO YOU BOUGHT A FIXER UPPER. NOW WHAT?

If you just purchased an older home, chances are that you have some work to do! After all, just because a home needs a little more love and elbow grease doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. The term “fixer upper” refers to older homes that are in need of repairs, maintenance, and possibly some remodeling. You may even get a much better deal on a house purchase by addressing repairs or updates that the previous owner hasn’t or won’t address.

So what’s next? Before you grab all your bags and the family pet to move in, there are some important factors to consider, which we’ll discuss here.

1. Is this your forever home?

3. Tile Tips

On the other hand, if you’re living there for only a certain number of years, you may want to consider more classic styles that will stay current in popularity even as years pass. Choose hardwood floors in classic stains that can be refinished before listing the house to sell.

4. Check above, below, around, and within.

In addition to home repairs, there are certain improvements and renovations that are appropriate for the length of time you plan to own and reside in your home. For example, you’ll have much more freedom to select taste-specific options if this is your final home purchase.

2. Carpet or hardwood?

If your fixer upper has hardwood in poor condition, but only in certain sections, you have the more economical option of only replacing the parts that are damaged. Or, all you may need is to sand down the hardwood and apply a fresh stain. When it comes to carpet, darker colors are always a safe bet because it will mask dirt and stains. Also, darker colored carpet can be cleaned frequently without affecting its overall quality and appearance.

Most importantly in bathrooms, you need to use a flooring material that resists water and moisture. It doesn’t end with buying the tiles, though. You will need to acquire some type of thinset or mortar to attach the tile to the subfloor, grout to fill in the cracks, and specific tools in order to get a professional, finished look.

According to a recent article by Home Depot, one of the most important steps after purchasing a fixer-upper is to check the basement below, the roof above, the siding around, along with the sewer pipes and HVAC ducts within. These make up the foundation of your home and addressing any issues before moving in will set you on the path of enjoying your new home. At the end of the day, if you’re prepared for a fixer-upper well before taking the leap, then you’ll undoubtedly reap the benefits and rewards. Hard work really does pay off, but still never forget about all the resources at your disposal whenever you need a little extra help or advice.
